It's the middle of the month, time to indulge in La Capannina's legendary thin-based Pizza. Prepared with love and finished in the wood-fired oven, hot and delicious.

For those who are unable to finish the whole pizza and take the leftovers home, and the customers who choose to have a takeaway, we have a recommendation:

A cold pizza warmed in an air fryer for two minutes at 180C will be crispy and tasty, as good as new.

La Capannina has undergone a cosmetic transformation over the past decade.
